Quick VHD vacc question

4 of mine had this today and I saw the bottle that the vet drew it up from and it said LAPINJECT but when I got my invoice at the desk it says CYLAP.

I'm confused because I gather that these are 2 different manufactered vaccines?

I'll ask when I'm there again in 2 weeks, but I just wondered if anyone could shed any light?

Thanks,

Nicola
 
Lapinject is a relatively new brand name of VHD vaccine marketed by CEVA. I would imagine if you had 4 bunnies done it would be more cost effective (for the vet practice :roll: ) as it comes in a 5 dose bottle which I believe is actually cheaper to buy than a single dose of Cylap! Definately worth mentioning next time I think - I suppose they charged you the same? :? I think they should of at least put the correct vaccine name on your invoice.

BTW, I have started using the Lapinject for my buns and foster buns. Apart from being cheaper, you also only administer 0.5ml instead of 1ml, babies can be vaccinated from 5 weeks and the onset of immunity is only 6 days as opposed to 21 days with the Cylap. :D

Thanks, I was just so confused after seeing the bottle and then having a different name on the invoice:?

The invoice was really confusing aswell because I got various discounts because of it being their second vaccine, and because there were 4 bunnies they do a 10% discount. So I'm not entirely sure how much I paid per vaccine
